Great job Lodratio! I really like where you took the theme - completely out of the box, *high fives!*
So what I took from the passage:
Jamie is in fact a baby boy who has been neglected by his Mother- who isn't exactly the best parental figure (wine, wine, wine and shine, depressed alcoholic, "feverish desire to die") -
Jamie was comforted by a spirit who looked after him while his mother did her own thing. Then, one day, after a drinking episode, the Mother decided she'd strap on a baby carrier and become the parental figure she should have been... but alas, it was too late. Baby Jamie's "guardian angel" - if you will - took charge of the youngster and spoke to the woman in a grizzly, demonic voice -- head rolling in the carrier as he crippled the woman's psyche.
Soon, the spirit became an incantation...
... it loomed over the Mother's frame - forcing her to live in a cycle of unrelenting anxiety and fear.
Fun theme, I tried to stick with the passage a bit more, purely because I want to get better with problem solving real briefs like this from clients.
No refs used. About 12ish hours. :/
My thoughts:
I know, I skimmed over the hands because I'm a... a... a... pussy still. Though I prolly shoulda used refs - screw it, I'll just study hands more and go from there in the future.
I really can't paint jeans from head. Need to study this. Need to study a lot of things, but this first.
**I'm tired of my paintings looking metallic. This will hopefully be fixed after the Schoolism course I'm taking**
Also yeah, Jamie's head is meant to be Exorcist like.
Very much open to crits. I wanna git gud.
Congrats to all the Daggers that participated! Lord Shia commends thee! o/
